Four schools will continue their quest for the ISSA Rural Area Junior football double when the Burger King Under-14 and Mighty Malt Under-16 quarter-finals kick off Friday afternoon.

Cornwall College, who are unbeaten in both competitions, Glenmuir High, the Under-14 defending champions, Rusea’s High and Manchester High are the teams still in contention to win the double.

The quarter-finals — which should have started on Tuesday but were pushed back — are to continue on Monday and end on February 26.

The semi-finals are set for March 3, and the finals are to be contested on March 6.
